                                    Spearsville Dots
                                         ------

   The time of year has come when we can hear the school girls and boys practicing 
and rehearsing their parts for the June commencement. We predict, from the interest 
manifested in every way, that the school (Everett Institute) will make a good showing 
this year. 

   Since we are in such close proximity to the new railroad, we hope to send you 
more interesting news in the future, when prosperity staggers upon all of our people 
in spite of their efforts to get away from it.

   Springtime seems to have gained supremacy over the trying blizzards of winter, and 
all nature is putting on new vitor and marching once more to the orders of "General Green."

  Either lost, strayed or stolen - "Col." J. O. Buckley; had a few words with his 
wife about ten days ago and left to be gone that evening, but has not been seen in our 
midst since.

  Many of our farmers have planted their corn crop and are now ready to begin dropping 
the seeds of the fleecy staple.

  Dr. Harrell says that he has done very little riding since Christmas. Good news for 
our health record.

  Dr. Laurence, the tooth doctor, was the guest of some of our lady friends a few days 
last week.

  We have an interesting Sunday school every Sunday evening and prayer meeting at night.

  Mr. Taylor, the patent wagonstep fixer, was with us a few days last week.

  The tax assessor was on our streets last week entertaining the boys.                
                                                                                "T."
